masterandmeat -> NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:02:23 PM)

Of course we all are aware of the ones trying to have you send them money to come to be with you.  This is a new one that I just ran across.  The scam goes like this They will use a sub/slave as a mail drop.  The person will use stolen credit card numbers have the stuff sent to the subs adress where she or he will acept it then take there own money and reship it overseas normally africa to there store. Of course there is no way to track the person using the credit cards but the goverment can track were the company shiped the articials  
This is a wounderful lifestyle I am so sick when others use it for there own gain in the end  we all end up paying the price




KatyLied -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:04:47 PM)

This isn't a new scam.  I saw an investigative report on it a few months ago.  It's not a lifestyle issue, it's a criminal issue.




masterandmeat -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:16:02 PM)

This is a life style issue anytime someone uses this lifestyle for there own gain it reflects on all of us. Ever sit down and watch a Law and Order epesode where BDSM is the subject we all are killers or abusers on there   Because so called "normal" people have no clue what we are about    The next report on tv will be on this life style  how con aritst use subs this way   If this topic can save one from getting involved it is worth it




CuriousLord -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:37:54 PM)

So.. if I understand correctly.. in order to avoid this scam, one just must keep his credit card number private?

Bah.  Time to stop handing out business cards with it printed on the front.




KatyLied -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:39:41 PM)

Would it be better to say it's a stupidity issue?  




Aileen68 -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:42:54 PM)

It's not a lifestyle issue.  Scams happen anywhere stupid people gather. 

edited to add....hahahahaha.  Just read Katy's reply.




KatyLied -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:48:09 PM)

Aileen, I'm sending some boxes to your house.  Don't open them, 'mkay?




domiguy -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 1:57:14 PM)

You would think that they would at least demand that the sub would include some "gash" shots when forwarding on the stolen merch.

The op is correct...This is a bdsm issue....This "communty" seems to be one founded equally on the power exchange as well as stupidity.




masterandmeat -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 2:04:52 PM)

Any one can have there credit card stolen if you use them anywhere   I would never be so judgemental to call some one stupid   Most subs would do anything to please there dom/owner and lay there trust in them   A real dom protects what is his and does not take advanage of the power he has over the sub  it is not stupid it is them obeying and serving it is how they were made
The truth about this life style is it is based on trust




domiguy -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 2:10:28 PM)

If the trust is blindly given...I would call that stupidity...Surely, they do get some gash shots, right?




KatyLied -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 2:12:59 PM)

A need a real dom to protect me.  And to send me some boxes.




SirHedonicsslave -> RE: NEW SCAM OUT THERE (9/3/2007 3:00:10 PM)

I'm not a real Dom, but i play one on TV (had to get a bigger TV cause i kept falling off....don't know what i'm going to do if we ever get a flat screen.)  Could i send you some boxes??  Please....and i will order the boxes to submit to your will!
This is definitely a "When will they get a CLUE" issue.....I"m sorry, no matter how much i would be ready to please a Dom, anytime anyone mentions shipping anything to "Africa" i figure it's some kind of scam.  I heard about this on the news a while back.....never heard anything mentioned about subs/slaves.....just unsuspecting naive trusting victims.....

How is this a lifestyle issue and how does this have anything to do with being submissive???  The people carrying out these scams do not contact people based on the fact that they are submissive. In fact they probably have no idea what BDSM or being submissive even means. What they do is contact anyone and everyone they can in the hope that amongst the hundreds they contact they will find one or two stupid ones that will fall for their scam.

I have been contacted many times on my messenger but that has nothing to do with me being submissive and all to do with having a profile on there. They troll through a list of people and send the message to everyone in the hope someone will respond.

Making this a lifestyle issue and suggesting that subs need protecting is ridiculous.

Not just stupid people...

Bread-Heads are just as vulnerable to artists-de-le-con if not more...
